In keeping with the Japanese style, aesthetic is valued at Combini. Every bowl and roll that the shop sells is Instagrammable to the highest degree. Pale pink salmon tumbles across a bed of fresh seaweed and finely sliced avocado, served alongside brightly branded Japanese drinks upon gleaming white surfaces.

The atmosphere that CombiniCo. has created is effortlessly cool with the neutral, minimalistic background of the store allowing the beautifully crafted food to do the talking. Floor to ceiling greys and whites dominate the store’s interior; this easily ensures the customer’s focus is on the vibrant products against this well-balanced, clean background. This past weekend has shown how popular this new spot is in St Andrews. CombiniCo. sold out of food this weekend and we can confirm that it is definitely worth the hype.

Two months on, CombiniCo has had its share of success. The sleek Japanese-Korean takeaway is constantly humming with activity, as students flock to purchase sushi rolls or bini bowls before the lunch rush.
